From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alan Rusbridger (born December 29, 1953) has been editor of The Guardian since 1995. He was previously a reporter, columnist, features editor and deputy editor of The Guardian. He worked for The Observer and as Washington Editor of the London Daily News before returning to The Guardian in 1987.
Rusbridger was educated at Cranleigh School, a boys' independent school in Cranleigh, Surrey, and at Magdalene College at the University of Cambridge. He is a member of the main board of the Guardian Media Group and of the Scott Trust, which owns The Guardian, and is executive editor of The Observer. He is a visiting Fellow of Nuffield College, Oxford, and Visiting Professor of History at Queen Mary, University of London. Since 2004 he has been Chairman of the National Youth Orchestra.
Disparaging remarks he made about the discipline prompted Gordon Marshall to write In Praise of Sociology (1990).
